Shout out to Dave Cuttino and Nick for hosting us today and showing us what Reservoir is all about.

Daveโ€™s mission is simple: ๐’Œ๐’†๐’†๐’‘ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’Š๐’”๐’Œ๐’†๐’š ๐’‡๐’–๐’. And he delivered. Plenty of laughs, a few jokes that definitely arenโ€™t making the article, and some seriously interesting wh***ey along the way.

We dug into everything from heirloom grains and custom mashbills to barrel influence, blending, and some very different expressions of Virginia wh***ey.

The wh***ey is what gets you through the door. ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ค๐ž๐ž๐ฉ ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ .

Blown away by the continued kindness in this community.

When Randy reached out and offered to make me a Bourbon Bishop hat, no questions asked, I was honestly blown away.

What he didnโ€™t know was that Iโ€™d been thinking about getting the logo on a hat for a while. Then this showed up. ๐Ÿคฏ

For those who donโ€™t know Randy, heโ€™s a veteran working toward retirement with hopes of turning his custom merch and woodwork hobby into his full-time gig.

Iโ€™ll be wearing this all over KBF and telling everyone I can who made it.

Randy, I canโ€™t thank you enough. ๐Ÿ‘Š

Go give Randy Sherlin a follow and show him a little love from the wh***ey community.

Iโ€™ve tasted a lot of โ€œfinished bourbon.โ€

But Iโ€™ve never tasted one quite like this.

Lochs of Jura takes 10โ€“12 year bourbon and rye and gives it 32 months in casks from the Isle of Jura.

The result is sweet, spicy, heavily oaked, surprisingly funkyโ€”and somehow incredibly cohesive.

My favorite part might be the fact that I actually wrote โ€œpetrichorโ€ in my tasting notes.

Thatโ€™s a first. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Would you chase something this unusual, or do you want your bourbon to stay bourbon?

Sometimes the most interesting question isnโ€™t โ€œIs this good?โ€

Itโ€™s โ€œIs this worth it?โ€

Discovery 2026 absolutely has things to like: 112.8 proof, 7โ€“11 year bourbon, four months in custom Garryana oak, and a whole lot of marshmallow + toasted oak.

But for me, the oak gets a little drying, the profile feels more familiar than the name โ€œDiscoveryโ€ suggests, and $139.99 is a big ask.

Soโ€ฆ would you pay $140 for this?

Or would you rather put that money toward something more adventurous?

Full review is in the bio.
